Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1088 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 14

At first, Big Fat Orange didn't believe that the Queen Mother had any secret recipe for having a child, but he thought that there must be a recipe for maintenance. But when he saw the Queen Mother's fleeting guilt, Big Fat Orange couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.

Jiang Xinxin continued to chatter: "In the palace, mourning lasts for days instead of months, but there is no reason to start pulling women into bed during the three-year mourning period, let alone a grand talent show?"

"I opposed it at first out of consideration for the emperor's reputation. Can a year or two of effort really affect the heir to the throne?"

"Could it be that the Queen Mother is planning to ruin the Emperor's reputation and make the Fourteenth Brother succeed him?"

"How dare you!" The Queen Mother didn't care about anything else and scolded Big Fat Orange together: "The Queen is so outrageous, and the Emperor has no reason to say anything?"

Big Fat Ju didn't believe that the Queen Mother would dare to have any idea of ​​succession from brother to brother. Even though the Manchus had only passed on to the third generation since entering the Pass, the established order of inheritance was already an iron rule. If anyone dared to mention it again, then the situation of the Eight Kings discussing politics outside the Pass would surely return, and court officials would not be happy to see the royal family holding power.

However, the Queen Mother's reaction was a little strange, and Jiang Xinxin was indeed outspoken, so Fatty Orange instinctively stood on Jiang Xinxin's side.

The Queen Mother could be the Queen Mother no matter which of her sons ascended to the throne, and the position of Queen was only available to him, so it was clear which side he should stand on. "The Queen has spoken out of turn, please forgive me, Queen Mother. Now that the palace selection has not been passed, I cannot punish her. I will punish her for half a year's monthly salary and copy... the scriptures a hundred times."

You can copy scriptures, but it must not be the "Book of Filial Piety". Otherwise, wouldn't it imply that the queen is unfilial to the empress dowager if it is not in accordance with the annual festival?

If the empress is unfilial, how can the emperor, who is one with her husband, be well?

Jiang Xinxin sat calmly, smiling and nodding slightly to Big Fat Orange, "I accept the punishment, and I beg the Queen Mother to forgive me."

The Queen Mother did not want to let the Queen off so easily, but the Queen became even more reckless having lost her support. She also had to take care of herself and her young son who was guarding the imperial tomb far away, so she could only put on a stiff face and let the matter go.

The Han army flag has always produced beauties. The empress dowager decided to select more beautiful women to serve in the palace. If there is chaos in the harem, the queen's reputation will definitely be damaged. It will depend on what the queen will do then.

Of course, that was a matter for later. The Queen Mother wanted to make things difficult for Jiang Xinxin right now, so she used the remaining manpower to push the blame for Nian Shilan's miscarriage onto Jiang Xinxin. It just so happened that Concubine Duan was gone, and Nian Shilan needed a new candidate to divert attention.

Jiang Xinxin did not go to the Han Army Flag Palace selection, but Shen Meizhuang, Zhen Huan and An Lingrong were still selected, and all three entered the palace with the reputation that the Queen Mother valued. Shen Meizhuang was conferred a noble lady and given the title of Hui; Zhen Huan was conferred a concubine and given the title of Wan; An Lingrong was conferred a lady and given the title of Rou.

As for the rest, Borjigit was given the title of concubine and given the title of Zhen; Fucha was given the title of noble lady without a title; Guarjia was given the title of noble lady without a title. There was also Fangjia, who was thirteen years old and was temporarily added by Dapangju. She was given the title of Changzai without a title.

Jiang Xinxin was too lazy to do anything, so Concubine Hui Shen was sent to Xianfu Palace according to Yixiu's memory, to live with Concubine Jing; Concubine Wan was sent to the east hall of Chengqian Palace, Concubine Rou lived in the west hall of Chengqian Palace, Concubine Zhen lived in the main hall of Chuxiu Palace, Concubine Fucha lived in the main hall of Yanx Palace, Concubine Guaerjia lived in the main hall of Qixiang Palace, and Concubine Fangjia lived in the main hall of Suiyuxuan.

After Jiang Xinxin confirmed the accommodation for the newlyweds, she showed it directly to Dapangju. After Dapangju looked at it, he didn't change anything and sent it back to Jingren Palace. This time, there was no need to show it to Nian Shilan for review. Nian Shilan wanted to know the accommodation for the newlyweds, so he had to inquire carefully himself.

After inquiring, she found out the information that the Queen Mother deliberately revealed to her. Then Nian Shilan learned the "bad news" that the Queen was preventing her from having children. She couldn't help but broke into Jingren Palace that day, and Zhou Ninghai actually injured Jiang Fuhai.

There was a commotion outside. Nian Shilan stormed into the main hall of Jingren Palace in a rage. Jiang Xinxin was leading four palace maids to look at clothing materials. After the new bride entered the palace, she would prepare to go to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat, so summer clothes had to be made quickly.

But even though Nian Shilan was coming on strong, she couldn't withstand Jiang Xinxin's glare. Before Nian Shilan could speak, Jiang Xinxin directly said to Jiang Fuhai, who was covering his face, "Jiang Fuhai, take Jianqiu out of the palace and go to the Nian family and tell them that Concubine Nian, the daughter of the Nian family, yelled at the Empress and disrespected the Empress, and refused to change after repeated admonitions. The female members of the Nian family will be punished to kneel down for two hours every day to pray for this palace and atone for Concubine Nian's sins."

In the past, Jiang Xinxin had used the reputation of the women in the Nian family to threaten Nian Shilan, but today Jiang Xinxin was really fed up, so her eyes were particularly firm. Jiang Fuhai and Jianqiu understood Jiang Xinxin's intention, and quickly responded and went out of the palace.

Seeing this, Nian Shilan had no idea why she came. She stretched out her hand to stop the man, but was blocked by Huichun and Xiuxia. Zhou Ninghai wanted to push him away, but Jiang Xinxin ordered directly: "Take Zhou Ninghai out and give him fifty strokes of the cane, Songzhi fifty strokes of the cane, Concubine Nian, kneel in the yard and watch the execution. Invite all the concubines in the harem, the first-class palace maids and the chief eunuchs who serve her to come and watch the execution!"

When Concubine Duan passed away, she was buried in a thin coffin. Not only did the concubines in the harem not even come to pay their respects, but her body was not even properly laid out. She was directly sent out of the palace for burial.

Concubine Fang was sent directly to the cold palace by Nian Shilan. After Jiang Xinxin reprimanded Nian Shilan, she demoted Concubine Fei to a commoner and sent Concubine Fang to keep her company.

Now, at Jiang Xinxin's order, in a little over a quarter of an hour, the concubines in the harem had gathered in Jingren Palace to watch the execution.

Nian Shilan saw Zhou Ninghai being pinned to the ground by four eunuchs, and Songzhi also being pinned to the ground with her arms grabbed. Her eyes turned red with hatred, and almost spewed flames.

"Queen, you are a vicious woman!"

"You have killed my prince, and you want to end my offspring!"

"It is because of you, a vicious woman, that the emperor has no children!"

"I will fight you!"

Even if Nian Shilan wanted to fight to the death, could she really do anything to Jiang Xinxin?

So when all the concubines in the harem gathered together, what they saw was Concubine Nian, with her hair crooked and a little disheveled, being held outside the steps of the corridor of the main hall of Jingren Palace in a very embarrassed manner.

Concubine Qi was the first to seize the opportunity and sarcastically said, "What a great Concubine Nian! I never thought you would be like this today. You didn't even give me face in the past. You really deserve what you are like today."

Nian Shilan struggled again. Concubine Qi was frightened by her fierce eyes and took two steps back, leaving others speechless.

Jiang Xinxin personally explained the reason: "Concubine Nian falsely accused me of harming her child when I was in the palace, and also falsely accused me of adding contraceptive or sterilizing substances to the Huanyi incense given by the emperor. She broke into Jingren Palace and roared. Zhou Ninghai also injured the Jingren Palace chief steward Jiang Fuhai. It can be seen that Concubine Nian relied on her favor to become spoiled, and she must put the hat of favoring the concubine and killing the wife on the emperor."

"I have punished the women of the Nian clan to kneel down and pray for atonement, and punished Zhou Ninghai and Songzhi with fifty strokes of the cane, and then punished Nian to kneel down. I have already backed down again and again for the sake of harmony in the six palaces. Today, I invite you to watch the punishment in the hope that you will learn from it and not act recklessly, and do not hurt yourself and your parents and family members."
